Another Reminder

I guess I'm back in full force now :)

Another reminder how Republicans are still responsible for the terror problems the fact is that one Republican, Jim Demint (R, SC) is holding up President Obama's nominee for the TSA because of his fear that he will unionize workers. And I think some reminders for my Republican friends are in order.

First off the first responders to 9/11 were union members.

Second Captain Sully Sullenberger was a union member.

I realize Republicans spit on 9/11 as often as they can but union members were the heroes as well as Sullenberger

Decent Idea

http://www.examiner.com/x-23381-NY-Liberal-Examiner~y2009m11d13-DeMint-pushes-term-limit-amendment

I would like to give kudos to Jim Demint (R). That's right but one thing I consistantly say is if I hear something I like from a Republican as much as they deserve to be bashed they also deserve credit. So Demint is pushing an amendment that he feels will ease corruption in Washington by having Senators and Congresspeople have term limits. I really don't have a problem with that but really here is a better way to end corruption on all levels of Government:

Public Elections

The reason why there is so much corruption are big businesses are allowed to donate large amounts of money to these polititions (hence why there are huge issues with the healthcare bill among others) and once that stops corruption stops.
